Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 19, 15 215.

Application filed October L, 1913. Serial No. 793,452.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANCIS ALOYSIUS MONAHAN, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at 102 Oxford street, London, vV., England, manufacturer, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sleeve-Forms, of which the following is a specification. I

This invention relates to sleeve forms for use, either alone or in connection with dress forms or stands, in making; up garments and of general application but more especially applicable for use with dress forms or stands as described in the specification of my ,rior Patent No. 1,073,157, dated September 16th, 1913. In the specification referred to I have described the use of a sleeve form symmetrical in shape with an arm hole block by which the material fitted upon the bust form is secured in position, which sleeve form is adapted to be carried upon the said block by the entry of pegs upon the one part into holes in the other part or by other suitable means for the purpose of mounting the sleeve in correct relation to the bodice portion of the garment, the edges of the sleeve material at the arm scye being turned in between the sleeve form and the arm hole block for the purpose of bringing together the material of the sleeve and bodice portions of the garment.

The invention has for its object to provide an improved sleeve form which is applicable for use either with a bust form or independently for the fitting and making up of a sleeve thereon.

According to the invention the sleeve form is provided with a depending portion of any convenient length and corresponding to the arm and at the upper part or arm scye is recessed to receive a block by which the edges of the material upon the form at the arm hole may be held in position.

A sleeve form according to the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which- Figure 1 shows the sleeve form with a sleeve in position upon it, Fig. 2 is the sleeve form a of wood, papier mach, or other suitable material having any convenient length, and provided of such a form at its upper part that the respective parts of the fabric or material of which the sleeve is to be composed may be fitted into position thereon, and having at its upper end and at the side a recess b corresponding in shape to the arm scye. This recess is defined by a flange 0, over which the sleeve material at its upper part may be turned in, as illustrated in Fig. 1, and thus the upper edge of the sleeve may be formed merely by gathering the edges of the sleeve at its upper part and securing them in position by means of a block 03 of substantially the same shape as the recess 6 provided in the sleeve form for its reception. A thread it may advantageously be passed through the upper end of the sleeve for the purpose of its uniform contraction, and so that thus the upper part of the sleeve may be well fitted upon the sleeve form prior to the block (Z being introduced into position.

The sleeve form may be of hollow formation and with a block 2' at its upper part; for example the form may be cut awa at y to form a space into which the sleeve at the inside and beneath the arm scye may be gathered.

Then the sleeve form is intended for use with a bust form it may be provided to be fitted thereon after the manner of the sleeve form described in my prior specification, that is to say, the form may be provided with pins or pegs f to pass through holes 6 in the block (Z for entry into corresponding holes in the bust form at the arm scye, or in the arm hole block where such is provided, and the block 61 may also, or in place of the sleeve form, be provided with pins or pegs for the purpose. Similarly, the sleeve form a in a position opposite the block recess, and the block 03 may be recessed, as shown at (Z to form bars by which they may be handled,

as in the case of the sleeve form described in my prior specification.

It will be understood that the invention is not limited to the use of the sleeve form in connection with a bust form as described in the prior patent, as the sleeve form may be used with advantage in the making up and fitting of sleeves without any bust model being employed.

When used with a bust form it is only necessary, on the sleeve form being fitted in proper position, for a piece of drapers" chalk to be applied at the line of meeting of the sleeve and the bodice or blouse.

Lines are thus marked upon the sleeve and bodice thereon, and pegs on the form within the recess, said block being provided with holes for passing into position over the pegs substantially as described. 7 V 3. A sleeve form having a depending arm portiona-v recess at the arm scye to receive a block by which the edges of the material of the sleeve b'e'secured thereon and an opening on the inner side of the form in which the sleeve maybe gathered beneath the arm'scye, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name to this specification in'the presence' of *txvo subscribing witnesses.-
